One-Page Test Plan

A lightweight test planning format designed to capture the essential scope, priorities, and focus of a testing effort on a single page. It is most useful in fast-moving contexts where a full test plan would be disproportionate to the work involved. The format typically prompts the tester to identify what they care about, what is out of scope, and what must pass before release. It is valued for its speed of creation and its ability to surface the thinking behind a testing approach without requiring extensive documentation.
